Carnivore Diet

[Humble Narcissist]

Eating a low carb diet is where is at

Brutal if true.

Humans were apex predators for two million years, study finds



"Archaeological evidence does not overlook the fact that stone-age humans also consumed plants," adds Dr. Ben-Dor. "But according to the findings of this study plants only became a major component of the human diet toward the end of the era."

"Our study addresses a very great current controversy -- both scientific and non-scientific," says Prof. Barkai. "For many people today, the Paleolithic diet is a critical issue, not only with regard to the past, but also concerning the present and future. It is hard to convince a devout vegetarian that his/her ancestors were not vegetarians, and people tend to confuse personal beliefs with scientific reality. Our study is both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. We propose a picture that is unprecedented in its inclusiveness and breadth, which clearly shows that humans were initially apex predators, who specialized in hunting large animals.

how does anyone ever "Cut" on a carnivore diet


nobody I have ever seen doing keto of any kind is able to get sub 10% bodyfat imo


there's a reason all stage competitors cycle carbs for macros to get shredded

A carnivore is not just meat.  It includes eggs and also other no carb animal sourced foods.

Vince Gironda used mainly meat with a cheat day but basically keto.



Arnold also used a meat only diet to get ripped back in the 70s.  Small salad allowed.

A zero carb diet was the go-to way bb's got ripped back then using ketosis.

He sold this booklet utilizing a "meat" only diet.

I'm toying with trying keto for real....but I think I might do the Girdona approach.

Any time i've gone lower carb for any amount of time, I feel flat and stringy....maybe need to just plow through it, but the Gironda diet may prevent by having the feed day

Vince was on to something albeit Vonderplanitz honed this approach to perfection.

The brain gets it's energy from carbs.

Not carbs but glucose, which is still produced even if you eat zero carbs.

"Although much feared by clinicians, the ability to produce ketones has allowed humans to withstand prolonged periods of starvation. At such times, ketones can supply up to 50% of basal energy requirements. More interesting, however, is the fact that ketones can provide as much as 70% of the brain's energy needs, more efficiently than glucose. Studies suggest that during times of acute brain injury, cerebral uptake of ketones increases significantly."

I dropped the keto diet about 4 or 5 months ago. Everything has been carbs and protein since then: chicken +rice, chicken +potatoes  fish + pasta etc etc. At first it worked great.

NowI think im gonna go back to keto soon. 1) I am hungry ALL the fucking time eating carbs 2) my joints hurt quite a bit more (when I first switched to keto 6 years ago the first thing i noticed was my joints felt great) 3) energy levels are lower- but on the plus side i sleep better eating carbs as opposed to fats on keto diet my energy was boundless) and brain fog is definitely worse, felt pretty sharp on keto.

So I guess I'll stick with what works.

An occasional cheat day won't kill you.

Dr. Chaffee hit me up this morning, dudes legit, him, Dr. Baker, Dr. Ken Berry, and even Salidino are the truth when it comes to nutrition/heath. Glad to see this thread is still going!
